It seems that people want, in addition to several logs, the ability to 
write to each log, given levels.

I don't fancy levels, but a lot of people requested them.

They do have a nice ring to it. Then, each module can have its own log, 
and you can write all sorts of info to each log:

BOOST_LOGL(gui,dbg) << "debug message";
BOOST_LOGL(gui,err) << "error message";
...

Best,
